FEW PEOPLE PASS THIS WAY

FEW PEOPLE PASS THIS WAY


passed a man who smiled
at me today
and wondered why?
Smiles are so precious
when they arrive

as morning light seeps
into my room -
not long before I am
here alone -

and as daylight swarms
above my head -
I wonder what I did
and wonder what the
night shall bring?

passed a woman laughing
today
and wondered why?
I too - wanted to laugh -
laughter is so precious
when laughter is heard

as night comes through
my window of my life
I think of what I did -
here all alone?

and so the night brings
but the end of another
day
as I close my eyes and
still see nothing -
change
